then of course meeting [people] like [pioneer engineering education researcher]” Under Knowing why and Knowing how, Beigi et al. [21] discuss Opportunity-taking and A blue- ocean strategy, where they refer to both strategically seeking unexplored research topics and taking opportunities when they present themselves. This latter concept was the research focus for Kindsiko and Baruch [23] where they identified the role of chance for Ph.D. graduates; they found these chance events often have a greater impact on the notion of a “planned career” than overt actions taken by individuals. Kindsiko and Baruch’s [23] study found many more nuances to chance events than our pilot study, but the concepts outlined by these two studies emerged
outside of academia.’Questions of validity for the percentage comparisons between ethnic groups exist for severalreasons: several female subjects identified as both White and Asian/ Hispanic, one subject didnot indicate their ethnicity (N=14), and the way that, when completing the survey, somerespondents selected all reasons, while others chose just two or three.Even though study statistics are not significant and are somewhat limited in their validity,reflecting on both the gender and ethnic comparisons brings out several statistics that we plan tocontinue to monitor as subsequent cohorts participate in the NRT. The strongest finding is thatwomen, both White and Asian/ Hispanic, appear to be more strongly attracted to theinterdisciplinary nature

way that programming is used in today’s context. Babbage planned for a loop (or sequence)of Jacquard’s punched cards to control the function of the mechanical calculator, which couldthen use the results of preceding computations [19-20]. In addition to loop control, Babbage alsoforesaw sequential control and branching (or decision making). Arguably, Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine represents the transition from mechanized arithmetic (addition, subtraction,multiplication, and division) to fully-fledged general-purpose computation (loop, sequentialcontrol, and branching) of today, although as the Computer History Museum notes, there is nocontinual line of development from Babbage’s engines to the computers of today [15]. Thisinvention of a punch
individual student and the institution. At the institutional level it is understoodas a mechanism that contributes to reducing attrition rates and enhancing recruitment plans butthere is a scarcity of empirical research related to PhD programs to understand this phenomenon.Contemporarily, Di Pierro [15] conceptualized doctoral mentoring as part of an institution’spragmatic retention plan to counter economic losses, potential loss in Carnegie classification, andvoids in research. Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations. For individual students mentoring often times is described as akey
volunteerism rates evenlower. According to Seemiller and Grace [11], approximately one third of college-bound GenerationZ students plan on volunteering as part of their co-curricular activities in college. Actual volunteerismrates once on campus are closer to six percent for Generation Z students [11, p.121]. Furthermore, thisdecline in volunteerism is seen across the spectrums of both gender and race [11]. Yet, Generation Z is profoundly we-focused. Shouldn’t their rates of volunteerism be evenhigher than those of me-centric Millennials? It may be the case that Generation Z isn’t seeking outtraditional volunteer opportunities once favored by Millennials: short-term and focused on symptomsof a greater problem [14]. Instead, it appears that

The Fellows function as change agents, helpingfaculty in their departments to better understand the experiences of URM students andfacilitating the development of a written plan for making changes in department policies andpractices to improve URM doctoral student success. They also implement initiatives funded bythe grant, e.g. training faculty in mentoring graduate students, bringing in external speakers andsending faculty members to conferences relevant to URM graduate student success, etc. (robustdesign, visible actions).A cohort comprises the Fellows along with all other faculty and doctoral students in the Fellows’departments at a single university.

process models, as reviewed by Wynn and Clarkson [7], where it isdescribed as; problem definition [8], clarifying the client’s requirements [9], statement of theproblem [10], clarifying the task and product planning [11], [12], preparation of problemassignment [13], functional requirements [14]. In software engineering design, the whole processis referred to as Requirements Engineering (RE), though RE is rooted in systems engineering andapplies more broadly than just software-intensive projects [15]. In Human-Centered Design andDesign Thinking, requirements development is intrinsically tied to the Understand (Empathize)and Synthesize (Define) phases where unmet needs are explored [16], [17] though requirementsare not necessarily discussed
ofa typical engineer but also an understanding of business concepts [13-15]. The criteria align withthis definition and the skills of an entrepreneurial engineer, including their ability to developunique solutions to problems [16-18]. Another important ability of a successful entrepreneur isopportunity discovery [19]. Encouraging students to identify opportunities to create value is alsothe focus of several efforts in engineering education focused on students’ development of anentrepreneurial mindset [20-22]. The criteria also ensure that the experiences allow students todevelop an understanding of business concepts and skills related to the business aspects of anentrepreneurial engineer, including business planning and business realization

schools, time to meet becomes a problematic financial concern. Since teachers areguaranteed to have a conference or planning period in most school districts based uponcontractual requirements, schools have to find other times for teachers to meet together. The timefor PLCs to meet within the school day is optimum because when teachers meet before or afterschool, the timing often conflicts with personal obligations like dropping off or picking upchildren from school or professional obligations such as tutoring or coaching. If time is allottedduring the school day, distractions from the PLC goals and objectives are less likely to occur.However, many school districts struggle with a way to financially provide two periods off a dayfor each teacher
these results might prompt new thinking about undergraduateengineering education and environmental work. We consider how our findings can informteaching and learning for effective early career practice and future leadership. We proposeleadership modules in environmental engineering curricula that focus on not only the urgentenvironmental problem space, but gender and racial equality in the people space surrounding it.1.0 IntroductionUnderstanding the school-to-work pathways of engineering students—intentions and plans priorto graduation, destinations and experiences after graduation—is a critical component ofintegrated, effective educational practice.

time on task did not necessarily yield a better score. It is assumed that theadditional data to be obtained in the near future (i.e., Spring Quarter data) will allow the authorsto clearly gauge whether total time on task correlated with the final score students received for agiven Quarter. Additional work is also planned to review historical data on recurring projects tosee if it provides any additional information.IntroductionThe senior students at Central Washington University’s Mechanical Engineering Technologyprogram are required to complete a year-long Capstone requirement through Senior Project (SP)I/ II/ III. During Fall quarter (SP I) the focus is on design, where students work on the design andanalysis of their project. Analysis also

Tentimes, faculty members said they would discuss classroom norms, and nine times, theycondemned the comment made in the chat. On four occurrences, faculty members noted thevalue diversity brings to the classroom environment; three times, they said they would pause toaddress the comment or would plan to address it in a future class; and, twice, faculty memberssaid they would affirm how Shawna belongs in the class and would invite students to talk tothem one-on-one at a later time. These efforts suggest that most faculty members wanted to callattention to the microaggression and

that valueslearning-centered inclusive instruction using evidence-based teaching (EBT) methods. Theoverarching goals for the project are to increase student preparation and retention in STEMdisciplines.We seek to meet these goals via a number of different thrusts (or categorized interventions),which were described in more detail in a previous paper [1]. Now, the project (funded by a five-year NSF-IUSE implementation grant, following an NSF WIDER planning grant) is in its no-cost extension year and we are positioned to do some reporting on project impacts, along withsharing some lessons learned.We will begin by reviewing the program thrusts and estimating the number of faculty, graduateassistants and/or students impacted, as appropriate.

, and the nature ofthe relationships between them [7]. Such problems are also situated and discipline specific [7],often requiring significant technical knowledge. In engineering design, problems are complexbecause variables commonly suggest an impractically large experimental space. For instance,consider a capstone design team trying to plan physical tests of a stent to determine conditionsunder which it would be effective. They might consider technical variables such as temperature,pressure, radial force, and particulate size. The number of possible variable combinations is toolarge to run every possible test, assuming each test takes 30 minutes. But beyond the technicalconsiderations are social factors. If a stent is to be used in a living

hospital, the makerspace had the advantage ofseeing protocols designed by experts. Dr. Eames stated that these collaborative experiencesallowed him to begin developing possible pivots for the makerspace that would allow studentsto be safe during a pandemic or similar crisis.Staffing Two college of engineering faculty members support faculty in the space, the makerspacemanager and the director of curriculum. Prior to the COVID-19 pivot, these faculty membersimplemented one-on-one and community support for professors using the makerspace in theircurriculum. During the COVID-19 pivot, the one-on-one support became the most importantaspect of their faculty development. However, without the previous planning, support, andunderstanding of the

Also, wewill try to implement this model directly with a 3D camera to detect the defects and set thecamera on a robot for doing the same job where human presence is dangerous and time-consuming.ConclusionThe demand for 3D printing is increasing day by day. According to Wohlers Associates [15],also referred to as the bible of 3D printing, there have more than 250 areas of production anddevelopment of AM. Recently, Italian firm Isinnova has manufactured respirator valves in justtwo days to support COVID-19 patients. Ten patients were able to breathe with the aid of amachine that included the 3D-printed valve. It also has a tremendous

not and the first year was notvery well-coordinated. The second summer ran much smoother.Adjustments due to COVID-19CSUN, like most other universities, switched to a virtual environment for all instruction in March2020. All of our year-long projects were also conducted virtually. Final presentations at the end ofMay 2020 showed that many of the projects experienced some disruption. Furthermore, most ofour plans for widespread dissemination about our program were also disrupted by COVID-19.Covid-19 directly affected several students who became sick or had relatives die. While several ofour graduating seniors found jobs, quite a few of the students found the job market in 2020 verychallenging. Undoubtedly, the lockdown and economic disruption
